How a Pune Resident Lost 81 kg, Reversed Prediabetes, and Reclaimed His Life Through Lifestyle Transformation

I Slashed A Whopping 81 kg in 1 Year Thanks to FFD!

  • Name - Mr.  Raajeev Ramrakhyani
  • Place - Pune, Maharashtra.
A year ago, walking even short distances felt exhausting. Climbing stairs was difficult, sciatica pain had become a daily companion, and my weight had reached 180 kg. My blood pressure was high, my HbA1c had entered the prediabetic range, and I had slowly accepted that this was simply how life would be.
Today, I weigh 99 kg.
I have lost 81 kg, normalized my blood pressure, brought my HbA1c down to healthy levels, completely got rid of sciatica pain, and discovered a lifestyle that I genuinely enjoy.
This is my story.
 
Key Takeaways
  • Weight reduced from 180 kg to 99 kg
  • Reduced HbA1c from 6.0 to 5.4
  • Blood pressure improved from 150/90 to 120/80
  • Completely eliminated sciatica pain
  • Transitioned from a sedentary lifestyle to walking 10–20 km, strength training, badminton, and trekking
  • Developed a healthy and sustainable relationship with food

My Health Story

For years, my weight kept increasing until I eventually reached 180 kg.

With obesity came several health concerns. My blood pressure hovered around 150/90, my HbA1c reached 6.0, putting me in the prediabetic range, and I suffered from severe sciatica pain.

Simple daily activities became difficult. Walking short distances left me tired. Climbing stairs felt like a major task.

I had become extremely lethargic and had almost accepted that poor health was now a permanent part of my life.

Deep inside, I knew something had to change.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

Everything changed after I attended the Discover Reversal Session. Soon after, I joined the Fast for Freedom program.

Initially, I thought the program would simply teach fasting. Instead, it completely transformed my understanding of health.

I learned that food is not something to fear, it can become medicine when chosen wisely.

The program taught me mindful eating, nutrition, discipline, and helped me build confidence that lasting transformation was actually possible.

Instead of chasing quick fixes, I finally had a sustainable path.

My Reversal Story

Once I understood the science behind nutrition and lifestyle, I committed myself completely.

I combined the learnings from the program with:
  • Daily walking
  • Strength training
  • Better food choices
  • Consistency
  • Self-discipline
One healthy decision became another. Then another.

Exactly one year later, my life looks completely different. My weight reduced from 180 kg to 99 kg, a remarkable 81 kg transformation.

My HbA1c reduced from 6.0 to 5.4, bringing me back into the normal range. My blood pressure normalized from 150/90 to 120/80.

Most importantly, my sciatica pain completely disappeared. The physical transformation was incredible, but what changed even more was my mindset.

Healthy eating no longer feels like a restriction. It has become a way of nourishing my body.

Athletic Identity

One of the biggest surprises of this journey has been discovering how much I enjoy being active. Earlier, even walking felt difficult.

Today, I comfortably:
  • Walk 10–20 km
  • Play badminton
  • Go trekking
  • Perform strength training
  • Look forward to daily movement
  • Being active has become part of who I am.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

This journey taught me that lasting transformation is never about perfection. It is about making one good decision today and repeating it tomorrow. There will always be excuses.

There will be setbacks.

There will be difficult days. But consistency always wins.

Looking back, I am deeply grateful to the entire Discover Reversal and Fast for Freedom team for their knowledge, guidance, and continuous encouragement.

Their support helped me build habits that transformed not just my health, but my entire lifestyle.

If someone reading my story is struggling with obesity, prediabetes, high blood pressure, or simply believes change is impossible, I want to say this: I once stood exactly where you are.

If I could transform my life after reaching 180 kg, your transformation is possible too. Never underestimate the power of one decision.
